Abdelouahed Ben-Ncer of the National Institute of Archaeology and Heritage Sciences in Morocco poses with the casting of a jawbone of a Homo Sapiens discovered in Morocco on June 6, 2017 in Paris. Our human species already roamed Africa 300,000 years ago, sporting modern-looking faces that would not stand out in a crowd today, according to research published on June 7, 2017 that advanced Homo sapiens' origins by a hundred millennia. A groundbreaking fossil discovery in Morocco obliterates two decades of scientific consensus that our forefathers emerged in East Africa about 200,000 years ago, according to two studies published in the science journal Nature. / AFP PHOTO / PATRICK KOVARIK
